Lipoblastoma is a rare benign soft tissue tumour that presents in early childhood. It is an encapsulated tumour arising from embryonic white fat. Lipoblastoma is composed of an admixture of mature and immature adipocytes,and usually has a myxoid appearance with fine vascular network. Although benign, lipoblastoma has a tendency to recur, and complete excision with follow-up is essential. Lipoblastoma usually presents as a painless enlarging mass in the extremities and trunk. We herein present a case of lipoblastoma in a rare location—within the cervical spinal canal.

頸椎管內脂肪母細胞瘤：病例報告
陳沛君、石家偉、謝健燊
脂肪母細胞瘤是一種罕見的良性軟組織腫瘤，多於兒童早期出現。它是由胚胎白色脂肪產生的包囊腫瘤，由成熟和未成熟脂肪細胞的混合物組成，且通常具有精細血管網絡的粘液樣外觀。雖屬良性，脂肪母細胞瘤有復發傾向，完全切除後進行隨訪是必要的。脂質母細胞瘤通常表現為四肢和軀幹出現無痛擴張性腫塊。本文報告一例位於頸椎管內罕見位置的脂肪母細胞瘤。
